From the beginning, Jon Bon Jovi had a plan. That plan started with him owning the band and everything about it. In exchange, he employed people on great salaries and benefits, kept them on for years, and was a cool guy to work for. It was always business, and the music too, of course. I mention this only because Jon chooses who the members will be, and it's not the fans or anyone else. So Phil, for a night or a decade, if Jon Bon Jovi says you're part of his band, you are, period. Love the Steve Morse story, this a good interview.
Ya right in what you say about the band being more of a business, cos I’m sure Jon has confessed to the, BUT, Richie was a main part of that, but I think Richie also got sick of it all towards the end, but hey, whaddo I know
My wife has a serious thing for Phil x and when she realised he was older than ME.. there was 10 mins solid of her looking at me, looking at him, looking at me, looking at him... then insane laughter. 😢
*If they absolutely need a two-guitar approach* - the epic pairing would be Phil & Sambora. How this Shanks guy ever fell into the mix is bewildering to me🤷♂️…
The band Bon Jovi without Ritchie Sambora is the Jon Bon Jovi Band. Something a little different. Ritchie was an important vocalist. Not, "Bon Jovi," without him.
Uau, if I were Steve Morse I would told him to go effe himself after his stupid answer about his bet with his friend. What an obnoxious thing to do. This Phil X is such a humble bragger. Thank god we didn't get much if him in the Star+ Bon Jovi documentary, he was so annoying in the Hired Gun film.
Love Phil. So down to earth
Phil X is such a treasure.
Great respect to Phil on saying that in those moments it should’ve been Richie 👍🏻
Saying Ritchie should have been there instead of him is a beautiful thing.
I'm not much of a Bon Jovi fan, but I'm a big Phil X fan!!!
I love Richie Sambora, but Phil X is such a great guitarist to fill in his spot and he's so humble
OK, it's official... I love Phil X. I'm a huge fan of Sambora, but this guy is really awesome. Respectful and grateful
Man I love Phil. No one better to replace Richie.
Couldn’t agree with you more! Phil is the total package and then some 🙌🎸🔥
Phil, I think it should be Ritchie too but you are never to blame. That’s very nice of you to say

Jons ego and direction has systematically undone everything great he originally created.
Phil X oozes sincerity and humility and sweetness and fun and talent.
Never heard Phil X talk before. He’s cool AF and I really love Richie lad.
He has an entire TH-cam channel he started a long time ago - he was one of the first guitar TH-camrs. Go look back at those old videos. Totally fun!
Phil IS as much a part of Bonnie Jovi as any one. Much respect for who he is, such a good guy AND what he can do with those 6 strings ❤
Yeah, it's become a bland communal band now.
Phil is a badazz... As a player and more important... He seems like a total cool dude.
Powerhouse Phil and a nice guy.
Love his shout out to Steve M.
Phil X is one of the greatest guitar players ever...and one of the best humans ever. 🙌🏻❤️🤘🏻
You may have gotten the gig because he left, but you have the goods to stay there. Remember that Mr. Phil X.
anyone else just find yourself smiling like a kid when Phil tells stories. "I win" cuz STEVE MORSE just showed me . hahahaha

agree Shanks the problem. should have stay quiet productor
In a world of shredders and wanna-be's Phil brings something new to the table and displays true rock-stardom.
I wish more people knew he was the guy when triumph needed to replace Rick Emmett.
My reaction is the opposite, when I've been in bon Jovi show I hoped to see philx

Compared to one fighting, ufc must be doing bad to have this

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL BUT WAYYYY TOO MUCH PHIL X
But he's not and Phil is. There's a reason for it for good or bad!
Phil is great
